-The Solidity Contract-Oriented Programming Language
+Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language for implementing
+smart contracts. It was influenced by C++, Python and JavaScript and
+is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
+
+Solidity is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries and
+complex user-defined types among other features.
+
+It is possible to create contracts for voting, crowdfunding,
+blind auctions, multi-signature wallets and more.
